I am trying to install the latest forge 1.15.2 version. I download the installer and when I open it, it brings me to the normal install window. I click install client and when it finishes i open up the launcher. However it doesn't appear, i go into installations and check for it there. Nope not there either. I then go looking for the file, don't find it in the versions folder of .minecraft so i think it hasn't installed correctly or maybe i needed to change the path the installer took. I look in the versions folder through the path picker of the forge installer and what do I see. THE FORGE 1.15.2 FILE! It did install I just can't see it in the launcher or through windows file explorer. I then look in the file(through the installer path picker) and the almost non existent file is empty.
I am on windows 7 and have scowered the internet looking for anything similar to this and have come up short.
(I even tried to reveal hidden files and it was still missing)
